FROM: Jack Harvard, Chairman ~
RE: The Naming of aH190
Our understanding is that the Highway Commission
will insist upon consensus prior to the naming of
SH190. As you know there has been a request to
consider the possibility of naming it the
Eisenhower Freeway. A significant degree of
support has also developed for calling it Sam
Rayburn Freeway. In addition, the names of Bush
and Bentsen have built some support
In response to the need for a regional consensus, I
would respectfully request that members of the
Metroplex Mayors Association encourage your
Councils to delay endorsement of any given
designation at this time.
Rather than having each affected city and county
endorse a different designation, I believe we will
best be served by reaching a consensus, and then
urging full support for that consensus designation.
I will be in touch with you in the near future to
discuss how we should best proceed. Thanks for
your cooperation.
